SC allows states to ban student ID to vote. Important decision, IMHO, living in a college town.

First of all, I don't think that transitory individuals should be allowed to vote in local elections. If you don't register to pay taxes in the state (i.e., you've established domicile), then you shouldn't be able to vote in the state, period.

That said, states can have different rules on that point, but requiring the presentation of a valid DL or state issued ID is a way to stop students from voting twice: once at school and once in their home state. I suspect this happens quite a bit in cities with colleges and universities that welcome a lot of non-resident students.
